MemberApril 15, 2026 at 9:52 pm in reply to: ROUND 2: LAFB Venice Shootout 4/30 – 5/2Alright I’m finalizing the planning of this trip. I took a new job that steals 99.9% of my time/attention but I promise you this trip has been my north star for the last 6 months.
We had already confirmed the dates on the 1st houseboat. The 2nd is the one I need a final headcount on. I can tell you that since we launched our little podcast we’ve had several guests express interest but I wanted to make sure I cover the LAFB homies 1st.
Once I have the final count I’ll confirm the amount with yall on the 2nd house (1st won’t change). Once confirmed, I’ll pay the deposit (or total dependant on booking) and collect monies.
Once 2nd house is booked. I’ll start a planning document where we coordinate drivers/boats/food/routes/etc.
I will definitely knock this out this week because I will be THE MOST hyped person in attendance. I need it TBH and hope to see all yall there.
I apologize for the delay in response/coordination and hate excuses but my life has been insanity since Feb 1st but its now starting to come together.

I have a freshwater terrova and take that bish out in the gulf, Port Sulphur, and some other salty AF places, no issues.
Life hack: buy it from Walmart and get the no questions asked 5-year warranty for like $100 or whatever and then swap it out on year 5. It’s less than the saltwater cost and you can just swap it out for a “new” one when the time comes, if it ever does.

Thats what you get for all your workouts, cold plunges, and eye exercises. As John Daly says, you cant pull fat.
As for your mocktail of OTC vitamins, where’s the lions mane instant coffee? I thought you were some badass rooting tooting gas station-trucker-meth-shooting GWOT soldier of fortune? Its 20MG of Adderall washed down with a 12 Oz. Sugar-free redbull man.
Everyone knows the keys to success also open up an early grave.
Realtalk, this is some classic Capt Devin shit right here. Awesome report and writing. Mad respect for an old school limit with no trolling motor. @cliffhall is not a human.
He’s Benny in Sandlot.
He’s Goose in TopGun.
He’s Alfred in Batman.
He’s young John Connor in Terminator 2.
He’s Ferris Bueler.
All wrapped into one.

I hate to report the ridiculous news but the sharks have very powerful lobbyists and are now pushing the opening weekend of red snapper till the 22nd.
We have a couple of options:
1. We keep things as status quo, pivot, target more elusive pelagics such as Mangroves, TT, Tarpon, Cobia, etc.
2. We move it to opening weekend. I check with the houseboat owner and see if it’s booked yet and just adjust the date to correspond with opening snapper weekend (which is where it was initially set).
3. We double dip, do 1 & 2 and that way everyone is prepped for opening weekend before opening weekend.

There will be people that read this report and they don’t know Cliff.
Believe me when I say, if he said he caught 30+ on top, it was probably 60.
